Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ending 2025 reflects a period of strategic consolidation following a phase of rapid growth. The strategic focus for the year was to stabilise and strengthen the business by investing in people and operational infrastructure while optimising our delivery model to support long-term scalability and efficiency.”
- “Revenue for the year was £25.2m (2024: £25.1m), reflecting a deliberate strategic decision to consolidate after strong prior growth. The focus shifted from top-line expansion to operational refinement and capacity building.”
- “Gross profit margin reduced to 17.5% (2024:19.5%). The decline in gross margin was anticipated and is primarily attributed to a structural change in our service delivery model. Specifically, an increased proportion of work was delivered via our network partners. This supports greater flexibility and responsiveness in service delivery but carries higher direct costs, thus impacting gross margin.”
- “Despite the margin pressure, the restructuring led to a leaner overhead base. By decentralising local administration, relocating our head office facility and refining internal processes, we achieved a 21% reduction in overhead costs. This realignment ensures a more scalable cost structure and positions the business for the future.”
- “The company's strategy remains focused on sustainable growth through continuous improvement and innovation. As part of this strategy, the company will continue to invest in technological advancements aimed at enhancing operational delivery, increasing efficiency, and improving customer outcomes. Embracing new technologies will enable the business to respond more effectively to changing market demands, support environmental objectives, and maintain its competitive edge.”
